Bariatric care refers to specialised care and services for individuals who have been assessed and deemed to require bariatric care. This includes specialist care for those who have undergone weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) as well as those managing severe obesity without surgery.
Bariatric patients often have complex care needs due to chronic health conditions associated with bariatric care needs, such as extreme weight and associated chronic health conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and mobility issues. Caregivers require specialised equipment, facilities, and caregivers trained to provide appropriate care. Nursing homes or standard assistive living facilities may fail to provide the equipment and care to make residents with bariatric care needs comfortable.
Maintaining personal hygiene can be challenging for people with severe obesity with bariatric needs. To ensure optimal hygiene our care homes use specialised bath equipment, adjustable shower chairs, and trained staff to assist with bathing, grooming, and continence care. Our caring staff ensure optimal hygiene while maintaining each resident's dignity.
